The announcement thatDavid Ayer’s DC ComicsSuicide Squadmoviewas sandwiched betweenBatman v Superman, Wonder WomanandJustice Leaguekind of made it seem like an afterthought. However, the first round of casting rumors has begun to circulate and they suggest, even if these actors don’t take the rolls, Warner Bros. has high hopes for the supervillain team-up film.

The Hollywood Reporterbroke this news.
Now, it’s important to note that Will Smith, Tom Hardy and Margot Robbie are all beloved by Warner Bros. They’re currently starring in three of their upcoming tentpoles:Focus, Mad Max: Fury Road and Tarzan, respectively. So while they might have offers, that by no means means they’ll be in the movie. Same for Gosling, who is one of those wishlist actors for almost every filmmaker.
But shooting for the stars on this little supervillain team-up film does show Warner Bros. isn’t makingSuicide Squadan afterthought. They want a big movie with big stars and even if it’s not any of those three, it’ll be names.
Back to Gosling though, the whole THR article is mostly about the fact he’s ready to embrace a franchise. While long opposed to going too mainstream with his roles, Gosling has finally changed his tune and is looking long and hard not only atSuicide Squad, butDoctor Strangeas well as a newHoudinifranchise starter.
